Ruth Elaine Schram

Fall, Slow Tears

Ruth Elaine Schram has become one of the most noted and prolific writers of choral music in our time. The re-voicing of this best-selling title by Ruthie will become her 1,000th choral publication, making this an historic printing, both for her and for Carl Fischer. In the musical lines of the voices and piano accompaniment alike, the 'falling' motive of shed tears creates a highly symbolic experience for singers as well as worshippers. This lush, thought-provoking and reflective work calls worshippers to a time of repentance and recognition of what Christ has done for us by His death on the cross. Rarely has there been a piece so perfectly suited for Communion, Lenten or other services of confession. Stunning, beautiful and hauntingly memorable!
